Plastic Toys Manufacturer

Custom plastic toy manufacturer provides toy manufacturing & Producing

Including Plastic Toy, Vinyl Figure Manufacturing Process

1. Prototyping

Based on the information and imagery that you provide, a sample prototype is produced. We can also use your Plastic Toys’ CAD and 3D files to print out and modify designs. The cost of the sample will vary with complexity and the materials processing that needs to be used for production.

For plastic toys and vinyl figures, a sculpt will be produced of your design based on your imagery, or you can provide us with a mold-ready sculpt that we will reproduce for manufacturing. Times for creating an initial sample sculpt or 3D print are typically 10-15 working days. Changes are made until you are satisfied with and approve the design, all at no additional charge and without obligation to order. Once the sculpt looks good in photos, a pre-production sample is produced for your approval of the final design prior to full manufacturing. If you decide you are not ready to proceed with production then the sample is still yours to keep.

2. Manufacturing

Most plastic toys manufacturing & vinyl figures making require the creation of complex molds in order to cast the material at high temperature and pressures. This mold making process is typically about 25-30 days. Actual manufacturing time for plastic/vinyl following the creation of the molds is usually in the range of 30-45 days — again this depends on quantities and complexity of each design.

Once production is completed, delivery times via ocean are approximately 30-40 days, while air freight times can vary from 2-10 days depending on the freight carrier.

Rush orders that can reduce full production times by roughly 40% are usually possible for an additional fee. This rush time may also require a production-ready design. Reorders of toys we’ve previously produced don’t require creation of the production molds so production times are generally only the 30-45 days of a typical production.

3. Toy Manufacturing Costs

Pricing of each manufactured toy varies with the particular design, size, and quantities.

Much of the cost of plastic and vinyl toys is in the cost of the molds that are made for production. The molds are often complex and require multiple parts in order to get the highest quality reproductions.

We will limit these costs as much as possible without sacrificing quality. Our quotes estimate expected mold and manufacturing costs. We will provide firm prices for both after you approve your prototype and are ready to begin production.

These prices are good for a fixed period, usually 30 days. If you include your postal code and country in your quote request, we will also estimate shipping costs.

Calculating precise shipping weights and volumes prior to manufacturing is very difficult, but we can often give you a general idea of likely final costs of the toys as delivered to your door or loading dock. When it is time to ship your completed order, we will have a firm quote based on actual measured weights and cubic volume of the shipment.

We work with different carriers to negotiate the lowest possible costs for either air freight or ocean freight. The costs for shipping, especially by ocean, can fluctuate throughout the year depending on demand for shipping due to holiday periods and the world economy. Because of these fluctuations, shipping quotes may only be guaranteed for 15-30 days.
